India progressed as the top-ranked team in Group A following a semifinal washout against England and their unbeaten run in this year's tournament makes the finale tough to call. India have never previously made it to the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Final, looking to become just the fourth side - after Australia, England and West Indies - to be T20 world champions. India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is standing on the brink of history. Kaur will be the first woman to captain India in a T20 World Cup Final. The match sees the return of familiar faces like of Kaur and Smriti Mandhana but it also presents fans with the chances to witness cricket's newest stars with India's teenagers Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues likely to be at centre stage. Verma has lit up the tournament with her performances at the top of the order, having already hit 161 runs in her four innings. Leg spinner Poonam Yadav too will be noticed.
